Would you rather be complimented on your appearance, personality or intelligence?
I know it sounds shallow, but I'd rather be complimented on my appearance. Only because I don't get compliments like that much. (Or ever) People have said I'm smart and funny and thats nice but nothing lifts your confidence like someone saying your pretty...
What do you guys think?

Hmm, this is an interesting thread. I'd rather be complimented on my personality, mainly because I get compliments on my appearance and intelligence all the time, and those compliments are nice, but I'd like people to see other things about me. I don't think my personality is distinctive or remarkable, so I'll probably never get a personality compliment.  |

I'd definitely get compliments about my personality, because to me that's a subjective thing. Intelligence is sort of... concrete, maybe? And I don't believe compliments about my appearance, they just make me fidgety haha.

sometimes i think i'm beautiful (and those days i'd rather a compliment about my personality) but i feel uncomfortable and conceited... then there are days that i don't (and need the appearance compliment)... but then i feel guilty for buying in to the Hollywood beauty myth... i can't win...

I would take all compliments but I guess even if physical compliments are always nice, being recognised for your personality is much more rewarding.

^ Word up Nik! I think all of them are nice. I expect more compliments about my personality, because I'm pretty insecure about my looks and intelligence. So when I get compliments on the latter, I tend to shrug them off anyway. |

Today I got complimented on my appearance, brains, and personality. I think I prefer compliments about my intelligence and personality, at least when I'm at work. It makes me feel appreciated. It's nice that a couple of people mentioned my hair looked nice today, but it doesn't have as much weight in a work environment.

I like being complimented on how extremely intelligent i am Simply 'cause I actually know i am. I never actually accept compliments on my appearance, it just makes me uncomfy. Although, my favorite compliment, which i get a lot, is that i smell good  It's a nice thing to hear, hah. |
